   Released: December 21, 2012

   By the District Director, Dallas Office, South Central Region, Enforcement
   Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
       of the Commission's Rules (Rules) to Newfield Exploration, owner of an
       antenna structure in McAlester, Oklahoma. Pursuant to Section 1.89(a)
       of the Rules, issuance of this NOV does not preclude the Enforcement
       Bureau from further action if warranted, including issuing a Notice of
       Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for the violation(s) noted herein.

    2. On November 11, 2012, agents of the Commission's Dallas Office
       inspected the antenna structure located at 34'0 52' 28.46" N, 095'0 48
       ` 11.6" W in McAlister, Oklahoma, and observed the following
       violation(s):

     a. 47 C.F.R. S: 17.4(a): "Effective July 1, 1996, the owner of any
        proposed or existing antenna structure that requires notice of
        proposed construction to the Federal Aviation Administration must
        register the structure with the Commission. This includes those
        structures used as part of stations licensed by the Commission for
        the transmission of radio energy, or to be used as part of a cable
        television head end system. If a Federal Government antenna structure
        is to be used by a Commission licensee, the structure must be
        registered with the Commission." The agents checked the Antenna
        Structure Database and found that the structure was not registered.

    3. Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
       and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information
       concerning the violations and any remedial actions taken. Therefore,

       matter within twenty (20) days of release of this Notice. The response
       (i) must fully explain each violation, including all relevant
       surrounding facts and circumstances, (ii) must contain a statement of
       the specific action(s) taken to correct each violation and preclude
       recurrence, and (iii) must include a time line for completion of any
       pending corrective action(s). The response must be complete in itself 
       and must not be abbreviated by reference to other communications or
       answers to other notices.

    4. In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct Newfield
       Exploration to support its response to this Notice with a signed and
       dated affidavit or declaration under penalty of perjury, verifying the
       truth and accuracy of the information therein, and confirming that all
